| The best plug in filter ever! @normb I don't even need measurements (of what? If we don't what it does, what shall we measure?) But I do require blind listening tests to see if anyone can tell if it plugged in or not. Even that would be meaningful, if conducted honestly. And ... | |
| Have you heard a VAS cartridge? VAS also have their Nova MC cartridges, which seem to be a different thing altogether from the 103-based ones. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @cleeds Empirical evidence is evidence. Empirical, adj. 1. Relying on or derived from observation or experiment. 2. Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment. 3. Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially ... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Indeed not. I don't intend to force 'my preferences' on anyone. I simply point out that if you don't control all the variables you can, you aren't sure of your own findings. I am as vulnerable to those confounders as anyone. I don't want to spend ... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! You didn't do the blinded trial I suggested to you? Where someone else plugs it in, or unplugs it? You do understand, don't you, that doing it yourself means very little given all the biases that are not accounted for? Yes, unlike Thomas, I like ... | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? I found a used SME 10 with M10 arm for 5.9kCDN, so now I have two and feel no need for anything more. | |
| A cartridge with more bite, please and thank you No one has taken you up on the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, I see. I believe it it described by Ortofon as the successor to the Kontrapunkt C, which I know and love. The Black is supposed to be equivalent to the old Jubilee. If that is true, the Bronze... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Isn’t that just the truth - we need some vertical compliance in case a stereo disk ends up under the wrong tonearm, but we don’t want any signal resulting from the vertical compliance to be fed up the chain. Peter Ledermann did sort out something... | |
| Grace F-9E Sounds like some people feel you should not enjoy what your ears tell you. Do ignore them! | |
| Grado Epoch 3 Preparing for the two tonearm pods that will shortly arrive. Took the Grado off the M10 arm on table #2, and replaced it with the Ortofon Kontrapunkt C. The latter is still better. Just lovely. Grado Statement 3 has become one of my backups. After... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Hmm. There must be life at londondecca,com. The 'Service' button now opens a web message form rather than an e-mail link to service@londondecca.com. So I filled it in. Also asked the old UK distributor at Presence Audio if he knows what's going on. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Correct. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Well Peter said I'm crazy. Also a few things about Deccas in general "that I wouldn't say out loud in public." He's not a fan. All I can do at this point is to hope that londondecca.com eventually get back to me. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question Peter replied and I'm waiting for him to call for a discussion. I may be getting somewhere! Chris | |
| Mono Cartridge Question No reply from the new owners of the London Decca name and business. Also enquired of Steve Leung (doesn't think it can be done) and Peter Ledermann (no reply yet). |
